A CAUTIOUS vet tech has shared the types of pooches she advises people not to purchase. <\/p>\n
These eight breeds might be adorable, but they can also be aggressive. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
"Some dog breeds I would never own and why," said Sierra Towers (@sierra.towers). <\/p>\n
She didn't shy away from showing her disdain toward the Great Dane.<\/p>\n
The animal health professional explained how these large dogs can suffer from GDV- or gastric dilation and volvulus – a severe disorder that causes the stomach to bloat. <\/p>\n
The Yorkshire terrier was another example of a dog that she described as having "breeding genetics that are just not it." <\/p>\n
The problem with these small yappers: collapsing tracheas. <\/p>\n
According to Sierra, those looking for a family dog should definitely stay away from the shar pei due to their aggressive attitude. <\/p>\n
And hold up before you go for an overly anxious husky. <\/p>\n
She also wants you to forget about the most popular breed in the nation: the French bulldog. <\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The reason? <\/p>\n "Respiratory distress," she said. <\/p>\n They might be cute, but they are also costly as well. <\/p>\n Sierra strongly cautioned potential pooch parents about the health issues associated with dachshunds, including IVDD, or intervertebral disc disease.<\/p>\n The low-to-the-ground dogs are more at risk of developing disc problems even at a young age. <\/p>\n Next on the list was the German shepherd, a breed prone to hip dysplasia. <\/p>\n She also said no thank you to dental disease-suffering greyhounds. <\/p>\n One follower was willing to ignore the warnings: "You're missing out. Danes are the best pet dogs ever." <\/p>\n Another viewer had a pet that potentially had double the risk factor: "Me with a German shepherd\/husky mix." <\/p>\n<\/picture>SPECIAL BRANCH <\/span><\/p>\n
